Ex-Times Editor Carries an Obama Doll in Her Purse

If ever you’ve been tempted to second-guess the fact that the American mainstream media is dyed in the wool, socialist, never fear.

They’ll always, eventually remind us why it’s true.

Comes then Jill Abramson, former editor for New York Times, who wrote an opinion piece in the equally leftist UK rag, The Guardian, in which she revealed that she soothes her rattled nerves in the Trump era by grabbing hold of the Obama doll she carries in her purse.

She explained, “I pull him out every now and then to remind myself that the United States had a progressive, African-American president.”

Former New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson revealed, in an opinion piece this week about the 2020 election, a bizarre superstition.

For the Guardian, Abramson — who famously has a Times-inspired tattoo — wrote, “It’s easy to look at what’s happening in Washington, DC, and despair. That’s why I carry a little plastic Obama doll in my purse. I pull him out every now and then to remind myself that the United States had a progressive, African-American president until very recently. Some people find this strange, but you have to take comfort where you can find it in Donald Trump’s America.”
